First, the surface-level questions:

1. How does somebody in solitary confinement and on “Suicide Watch” manage to hang themselves?  (Maybe it’s standard practice to allow rope in the cell. Perfectly harmless, don’tcha know. Maybe the guards thought he’d like to practice tying knots, so he could remember happier times as a Boy Scout Troop Leader. Anyone who finds this death by suicide even remotely suspicious is obviously a whacko conspiracy theorist.)
2. Had he named any names in interrogation?
3. Will we ever learn the truth about this?

Normies, coincidence theorists, and milquetoast “conservatives” will be uncomfortable if even those rudimentary questions are asked. Their normalcy bias would trigger extinction-level bowtie-ruffling if any deeper thought is allocated to this development…such as:

1. How long until we find out that all the evidence regarding Epstein has been lost or accidentally destroyed?
2. Are there more active shooter incidents planned to ensure this news gets buried?
3. When the Deep State can so blatantly commit Arkancide with so many people watching (and, in fact, anticipating this very outcome), is there any hope whatsoever for even a brief, limited dispersement of watered-down justice?
4. While right-wingers have been talking trash about how Barr is going to  accomplish some epic swamp-draining, has he been simply another Deep State plant, crushing those who won’t toe the line?
5. If Barr and most of the “rank and file” in the justice system truly are white hats, just how incompetent are they?
6. Is the Power of Positive Thinking going to rescue us from the situation?

I threw that last one in there because I fully expect that individuals online will soon be sounding off that this is just “the god-emperor playing four-dimensional chess.” Epstein’s really in witness protection, and this story is just a smokescreen. Or he already sang like a bird, so this is no big loss.

After the demoralizing 2018 election, Qanon reappeared, encouraging everyone to “trust the plan” because “we have the senate.” (The senate that “we have” is currently chomping at the bit to pass “red flag” legislation that will make your right to keep and bear arms subject to the approval of individuals like the thought cops at Google and Facebook who declare you a white supremacist and gag you if you dare express an opinion they don’t like.)

When Q begins posting again, I’m not sure how he will spin this. Maybe more “trust the plan” stuff, assuring us that Epstein spilled his guts before being snuffed. Maybe more “4D chess” stuff, hinting that he’s really still alive and the story is misinformation. (To his credit, he did warn of imminent false flags, and that August would be a “hot” month.)

Coincidence theorists believe that Oswald acted alone and what Jack Ruby did was just well-intentioned homicidal buffoonery. They’ll swallow this whole, too.

UPDATE: After the first “suicide attempt,” Epstein was taken off Suicide Watch at the request of his attorneys, it’s being reported. His cellmate was removed from the cell the day before his death, the video cameras just happened to malfunction at exactly the right time, and the guards (one of whom was not even an actual guard) who were supposed to check on Epstein every 30 minutes “fell asleep” and left him unobserved for hours.
